Additional Info: I spent a little time tracing the archatecture of my system.
The sound cards are not installed anywhere, Under dev/ati --card0 and card1 are there, but the files are empty alsa tries to load a number of files in/from wrong paths the asound.state file is empty there is no DIR /dev/fs only dev/fd the /boot/grub/device.map only list the hard drives and is missing anything related to sound devices , in addition, I do not know the proper way to add the device to grubs device.map file, or the proper folders, etc other than empty files. Basically, the ati device manager seems to try and set up, then load the cards0 and cards1 , which are empty files, and then the alsa loads, and seems to have some errors with the way it is set in the strucutre of the system (ie several wrong paths and 1-2 missing important files) Then when the whole system is loaded, it somehow finds the two cards, ie the onboard sound intel chips, and the radeon graphics card with a firewire sound outlet. These are both listed in the above as unclaimed, but alsa and everything else can not mount them, nor are there any relavent cards or devices under /dev/. In any case, I aside from not having the time, I do not want to spend days on this. I tried de-installing and re-installing alsa from code, but it always seems to set up the same way. I also tried getting/editing GRUB with no success to load the sound card on boot, to no avail. Any suggestions/help? I personally wounder if anyone has a quick view of their or normal alsa on a system (ie the files and locations, and depends but not thier actual content) or a quick fix by changing GRUB to load the card.
